GhostMalone Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 So minor update, In the process of scoring 2 FW mars pattern leman russes from eBay. Decided to re base coat my war hound to match my SA. And after christmas I'll be placing 2 separate fw orders. Order 1; 20 Las rifles 3 sentinels (not sure on using Elysian drop sentinels with Multimeltas or the Cadian ones with missile launcher) Order 2; Malcadore (battle cannon or annihilator?) Leman russ mars pattern (if I win the other 2 on ebay) 3 ryza pattern turrets. Or a valdor so guys choice help?

Iron Hands Fanatic Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Just a word of warning: doesn't look like sentinels are availabe for the SA according to Conquest. However, if you really wanted to field them, a relatively easy way around this would be to take Enginseer Auxilia as an elites choice - giving them a cortex controller allows you to take a unit of Castellax as Heavy Support, so your sentinels could be counts as Castellax. Personally, I'd use the Cadian sentinel with full armour, as it looks environmentally sealed, which is kinda the Solar Auxilia's thing. For weapons, if you were going the counts as Castellax route, stick a heavy bolter / autocannon on for the Mauler Bolt Cannon, and maybe a heavy flamer for the 2 arm-mounted flamers? Oh, and what you could do for the heavy flamer is use the official pintle-gunner from the SA pack - the idea being that they go topside when the grislies get too close Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299171-the-214th-expedition-fleet-solar-auxilia/page/2/#findComment-3867205 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daemon2027 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I'm going with Leman Russ battle tanks and Thunderbolts for my FA I think. Fire superiority. Love your guys at the moment dude, I'm converting up a Lord Marshel, I feel he should look different from the rest of the troops, noble, haughty, but dangerous, very very dangerous.

GhostMalone Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 Well I'm looking forward to yours I'm thinking of using the FW enforcer (iirc) as a base for mine but got to wait and see what options I can take Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299171-the-214th-expedition-fleet-solar-auxilia/page/2/#findComment-3867893 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 That enforcer model I am going to use somewhere, but the base of mine is the Cadian hostile environment officer. I considered the DKoK Comissar, lovely uniform. For Wargear I am going for survivability and cool factor.

Flint13 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Flavored? Prolly kinda metallic with a hint of lime ^_^ Which do I prefer? I think the lighter one on the right looks better, especially with the olive green fatigues. His armore looks more worn, like it has seen more service. Apropos for Solar veterans, right?

GhostMalone Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 Apropos? :/ Lol Well I'm thinking the extra Armour on the storm sections will be darker but I'm more for the lighter bronze Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299171-the-214th-expedition-fleet-solar-auxilia/page/2/#findComment-3869374 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 My Engligh / French Bilingual Grammar Nazi part of my brain is reeling Jasp! REELING! :P Dont worry bout it haha I like the Darker one on the left, actually...though the right one stands out more since hes more complete (right?). Maybe its just because I like darker, more saturated colors myself.

helterskelter Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 They're wicked cool, for some reason with your scheme on the models I'm envisaging some jules verne type stuff.

Daemon2027 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Man you are building a large number, I have built 3 so far. Second bacth to be ordered soon. I'm thinking I will have two full Tercio's. I like the colour you have got on them, it works with all the armour they have.
